Agriculture supports a large proportion of rural people working either as farmers, casual laborers, traders or hire service
suppliers. The agricultural services such as land preparation, drill sowing, transportation, harvesting, threshing and credit
provision play a vibrant role in farm production. This study attempts to investigate the role of Agricultural Services Providers
(ASPs) for increasing the productivity of crops in district Sargodha. The previous literature highly lacks the quantitative
assessment of role of ASPs in the growth of agriculture. We used field survey data and the secondary data obtained from
government sources. Generalized power production function was used to quantify the impact of agricultural services provided
by ASPs to the farmers. Research findings revealed that ASPs have significant impact on wheat productivity. They can
significantly improve the agricultural production by providing the quality farm services on judicious prices. Government must
focus on strengthening the system of agricultural services provision for the growth and sustainability of agriculture sector. The
farmers-ASPs cooperation should be encouraged among the community.
